Automated excerpt
"Do you think games are silly little things?" Yesterday, Nier: Automata received a new patch on Steam, adding more language support to the title - it can now be played with Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese options - but this new update also, somehow, inflated the file size of the game on PC from about 50GB to 366GB. The cause of this, reportedly, is a bug that caused all the DLC in the YoRHa Edition of the game to become the same size as the base game - and the new download stacks them all concurrently.
